On Feb. 18, 1952, a massive storm splits the SS Pendleton in two, trapping more than 30 sailors inside the tanker's sinking stern. Engineer Ray Sybert bravely takes charge to organize a strategy for his fellow survivors. As word of the disaster reaches the Coast Guard in Chatham, Mass., Chief Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff orders a daring rescue mission. Despite the ferocious weather, coxswain Bernie Webber takes three men on a lifeboat to try and save the crew against seemingly impossible odds. (Rated PG-13)

Program and festivities will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Waikiki Beach (Diamond Head end of Kalakaua Avenue) with live entertainment, food and beverage concessions and much more, with movie times starting at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Free, Open to the Public

Local TV newscaster, actor and playwright Mr. Joe Moore will be joined by television personality and "Wheel of Fortune" host Mr. Pat Sajak for a reprise of Moore's play, "Righteous Revenge." This historical drama tells the true story of the heroic "Doolittle Raid," which was launched on April 18, 1942. Sixteen B-25 bombers roared off the deck of the aircraft carrier Hornet on a stormy morning nearly 500 miles from Japan. The success of their mission lifted the spirit of the American people and became a legendary tale of World War II. This special event includes a reception and photo ops with the stars of the play. For information or to purchase tickets, call 808-447-1794 or email Vangie.Villa@PacificAviationMuseum.org. $125 per person.
